Dear CARBOCHANGE project partners, please remember the information from the Grant Agreement (special clause 39): Beneficiaries are required to make their best efforts to ensure that an electronic copy of their published work becomes freely and electronically available to anyone through the publisher or an equivalent repository (latest 6 months after publication).

This means that there are two ways in which researchers can make their work available as open access: 1) Publish in an Open Access journal. 2) Self-archive your work, in addition to the journal publication, in an open access institutional or subject-based repository. Be aware that journal guidelines have to be carefully checked to find out what version of the manuscript can be deposited (final pdf, post-print, pre-print etc.). If you would like to learn more about this topic and how to best comply with the EC FP7 and ERC Guidelines, please have a look at the OpenAire website or contact the CARBOCHANGE project office.

Please remember to acknowledge CARBOCHANGE in your publications (paper, poster, talks etc.): ‘The research leading to these results was supported through the EU FP7 project CARBOCHANGE âChanges in carbon uptake and emissions by oceans in a changing climateâ, which received funding from the European Commissionâs Seventh Framework Programme under grant agreement no. 264879.’

For IMBER or SOLAS linked publications, please include the statement âThis study is a contribution to the international IMBER / SOLAS projectsâ in the acknowledgments section.
